Chapter 191

Looking at Huang Xiantang, who was still chattering away, one of the Gao family cultivators with a higher cultivation base looked at him with contempt and sneered: "It's true that this used to be your Huang family's, but your Huang family is useless. You couldn't defend your own spiritual mountain and lost it to others. Our Gao family shed quite a bit of blood to take it from rogue cultivators. You want to take it back for free without spending a single spirit stone? Is the Huang family so devoid of people that they sent someone as ignorant as you to ask for it?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Xiantang's face turned red with anger. He drew his flying sword and said to the man: "Good lad, you're not very old, but your tone is quite arrogant. How dare you mock my Huang family for having no one? Do you dare to have a sword duel with me?"

After saying this, Huang Xiantang took the initiative to walk to an open space not far away, turning back to look at him with provocative eyes.

"A sword duel with me? Just you?" This Gao family cultivator was already at the ninth level of Qi Refining. Seeing a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Huang family dare to challenge him to a duel, he almost laughed out loud. Had this kid lost his mind?

A seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator and a ninth-level Qi Refining cultivator, although both belong to the late stage of Qi Refining, have a significant gap in strength. He really didn't know where this guy got the courage.

However, being able to humiliate this person on the spot was a feasible thing to do. In front of so many of his own clansmen, he could take this opportunity to show off his power and gain some face for the Gao family. Thinking of this, the Gao family cultivator also raised his flying sword and followed.

"Kid, it's not too late to admit defeat and get lost now. If you look too pathetic when you lose later, don't say your grandfather didn't warn you." The Gao family cultivator looked at his clansmen not far behind him and kindly reminded the foolish-looking Huang Xiantang.

But Huang Xiantang seemed not to have understood, simply raising his sword and smiling lightly: "Daoist, if you are afraid, how about I let you have the first move?"

"You're courting death!"

The Gao family cultivator thrust his flying sword directly at Huang Xiantang. This strike was extremely fast, and the force was naturally not small. In the blink of an eye, it was already in front of Huang Xiantang.

Seeing this, Huang Xiantang moved his flying sword in front of him, preparing to block the attack. His face changed from its previous dull look, becoming instantly very serious.

When the Gao family cultivator's flying sword was less than a foot away from him, Huang Xiantang suddenly withdrew his sword, gave up resistance, and tilted his body.

Seeing this, the Gao family cultivator's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly retracted most of his force, but a part of the flying sword still pierced into Huang Xiantang's shoulder.

"Help! The Gao family cultivators are killing people!"

Huang Xiantang clutched his shoulder with one hand and began to scream in pain.

Now, not only the Gao family cultivator who was fighting him, but also the few people watching from the side were instantly stunned, looking at him in amazement.

By the time they realized something was wrong, more than a dozen Huang family cultivators had suddenly appeared all around them, surrounding them tightly.

"Nineteenth Brother only came to discuss the return of Duanliu Mountain with you, and your Gao family actually started killing people without a word! This is too much! Do you really think my Huang family has no one left? Everyone, attack together, don't let them go!"

Following the order of the leading Huang family cultivator, more than a dozen Huang family cultivators who had been prepared for a long time threw their magic tools and spiritual talismans at the surrounded Gao family cultivators without holding back.

Before long, accompanied by a few screams, the few Gao family cultivators who were besieged fell to the ground and went silent, leaving only two still struggling to support themselves.

"Who is it that dares to attack my Gao family!"

With a loud shout, more than a dozen Gao and Lu family cultivators rushed out from Duanliu Mountain.

Seeing the few Gao family cultivators still being besieged not far away, these people instantly became anxious and hurriedly rushed over to help.

However, just as they started fighting with the Huang family cultivators, more Huang family cultivators appeared from the side and surrounded them directly.

Seeing that the situation was bad, the Gao family cultivators finally understood that the Huang family wanted to surround and kill them all here. They hurriedly fought to break through toward the Duanliu Mountain array, and finally, after leaving five or six corpses behind, they successfully hid inside the array.

Led by a few leading elders, the Huang family cultivators firmly surrounded the entire Duanliu Mountain.

Inside Duanliu Mountain, there were less than thirty Gao and Lu family cultivators stationed there. After the battle outside, they had lost seven people in one go. Seeing that there were Huang family cultivators all around the mountain, the remaining people lost the confidence to break out and could only lock themselves inside the protective array, sending signals for reinforcements.

The Huang family had brought fifty cultivators this time, plus a dozen Song family cultivators wearing Huang family attire. The total number was several times that of the people inside the Duanliu Mountain array. With so many people attacking the array at the same time, the people inside would certainly find it difficult to hold on.

In addition, the Duanliu Mountain protective array was originally set up by the Huang family. Although the Gao family had invited a formation master to modify it later, the Huang family still knew the weak points of the array. Under the repeated attacks of the crowd, the Duanliu Mountain protective array soon began to shake.

Half an hour later, as a streak of yellow light approached from the horizon, the Gao family cultivators inside the precarious Duanliu Mountain finally welcomed an important reinforcement: a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Gao family.

The white-clothed youth standing on a flying sword looked at the many Huang family cultivators besieging Duanliu Mountain in front of him with a look of shock and suspicion. What exactly had happened? The Huang family, which had not dared to make a move before, had suddenly sent out so many cultivators to attack Duanliu Mountain.

"Juniors, how dare you be so presumptuous here!" The white-clothed youth in the air performed a spell seal with his hands, and a huge light blade slowly formed, finally unleashing a Thousand Blade Art at the crowd below.

Countless wind blades poured down like rain toward the ground, but before he could fully descend, a figure jumped out from the side, raised a jade tablet, and released a light curtain to block these light blades.

"For a person of your status to bully the small, you really have no shame. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by your peers?"

Looking at Huang Shengyue in front of him, the white-clothed youth did not feel surprised. Just as he was about to bow and salute, he didn't expect another person to arrive on a sword, directly surrounding him in the middle.

The newcomer was Song Qingming, who had not appeared in Qinghe County for a long time.

When he first saw Huang Shengyue, Gao Yubai's face didn't change, which was within his expectations. But when he saw Song Qingming suddenly appear, he clearly showed a look of surprise. Apparently, he didn't know the news that Song Qingming had returned.

Watching the two surround him, Gao Yubai didn't appear too panicked, directly saying to the two: "Gao Yubai of the Gao family greets Daoist Huang and Daoist Song."

Seeing this, Huang Shengyue returned the salute and said: "Daoist Gao, have you come to stand up for those who occupied the Huang family's Duanliu Mountain and wanted to kill our family's cultivators?"
